Pretty good, some swearing, some kids might not understand it...
Parents need to know that this is a movie which is very hardhitting at times. There is some racist characters, and some stuff about imnmigration and deportion and detention centres and other heavy stuff like that.
Although there is no actual violence, it is implied that one character is treated badly in a detention centre, and we see a character getting arrested for no reason at a subway because the police suspect him of being terrorist (the film deals with lots of issues about post-9/11 paranoia.)
There is some f words and the film is very bleak, but I suppose that in the end the main character finds another happier and livelyer side to himself which is good. All the characters are pretty much good rolemodels, they all get along and show good manners and behaviour, but its just that some kids might not understand all the 9/11, immigration and terrorism stuff and may find it a bit disturbing, so I think its ok for mature 13 year olds. This film is similar to the Soloist.

Great premise!
The premise of this film is very interesting... A deadbeat professor travels for a conference to New York and finds that a foreign couple is living in his apartment. At first, he throws them out, but then he goes to find them and tells them that they are welcome to stay until they can find another place. An unexpected friendship arises and he finds himself deeply entangled in their lives and the possibility that the man is an illegal immigrant. Great film, very intriguing... makes you question our country's method of dealing with illegal aliens.
